ANSA) - Rome, July 2 - Defenders of wartime pope Pius XII have ''nice surprises'' in store, the keeper of the Vatican's secret archives said Thursday.

The controversial pope, who has been criticised for not speaking out clearly against the Holocaust, ''even ran personal risks'' to save Jews, said Msgr Sergio Pagano, Prefect of the Secret Archives.

''When the archives can be published there'll be some nice surprises,'' he said.

''I can't tell you any more,'' Pagan said, fending off eager reporters during a press conference on Galileo.

I think it's rediculous that the beatification process for this saintly Pope is being delayed due to a bunch of historical revisionists who are nothing but lobbyists.

The real heroes of this world often toil in obscurity seeking no credits or accolades because they are doing what is right & just.

The "case" against Pius XII was slander from the start, motivated by anti-Catholic bigots. It has been decisively discredited already by serious scholars. Pius was far more active against the Nazis than given credit for.

But the for the left, that won’t be good enough. They just want the Church to bow down to the world. It not only can’t happen, it won’t happen. Perhaps they’ll accuse Benedict XVI of hiding “secret documents” under his bed. The stupid lefties never get it.
